This is a great improvement upon your previous work. I've got just a handful more suggestions that I think will help things operate a bit better:

- The introductory text (the "Hello" et al) looks pretty decent, but the word "Hello" isn't hanging properly. It needs to be nudged a wee bit to the left because of the serifs on the H. Those don't count as letterform shapes to the eye, which is why using them as a basis for alignment doesn't work. CSS doesn't really care about serifs, of course, which is why the nudge will only be useful if the only thing that will ever go there are vertically-oriented letters (like H, L, K, R, E, etc etc etc...no W's or A's).

- There is a competition happening between the introductory text and the image next to it. Both are trying to draw my eye. Might I suggest making the word "hello" a much warmer or more vibrant color? It would help maintain dominance against the currently-blue image to the right. Another solution would be to swap positions of the text and image (image on left, text on right), which would solidify the image's dominance.

- Link colors look a little dull when placed on the gray background color. They share a similar gray value, and as a result they don't really stand out as links. Maybe bump them up ever so slightly.

- Page curl on the faux-paper bugs me. A lot of designers do this...they make a page curl that is totally flat. I think it looks lazy. Page curls are organic and should be treated as such. The little triangular corner fold just bugs me, but maybe it's a personal preference.

- Header seems like it's taking up more space than it needs. I think you can reduce the height of the header by 10px-20px and still retain the visual padding you want.

- The white paper page thing looks like it has too many words per line (the "critique mode" thumbnail doesn't let me see). Make sure all body copy stays between 7-12 words per line for maximum legibility and reading comfort.

- The handwriting touches are pretty nice, but I think they could stand out more. Right now their colors feel a bit dull.

Both versions are beautiful clean layouts, especially so on this revamped one. I do like the small changes you've made. Probably the most important ones are the active page colour on your nav and that you've brought the links closer to the logo.

I do love the colour of both pages and yes the critique was right you did need more contrast on the old one, but you could have done the same by changing the colour of the text or links instead. But I don't need to tell you that, because I think you know what your doing, and you do it well too . So long as you can justify the colour change and it conveys the message or feel you are trying to give your viewer then thats great.

One thing does irk me-the hand written type. Is it your intention to use them as links/nav? I don't have a problem with this, it can be quite effective and damn right cool, in the right design. But if you have this ultra clean layout w/clean type, it's like leopard spots on a zebra print.

The whole Design looks really clean and easy to use. I love the style you used at the header and the Footer.

But whats the point of this "cut out and keep"-tag? I mean it`s creative but is it usefull and needed in really clean design like yours? I think I would like it much more without this "cut"-thing but its your turn

Finally a really great design (:+fav) and I would like to know if you used a font for the headings of "design it", "build it"... or if you handdrawed the headings (if font pls call me the name )
